Strange decision to recruit Ozzie IMO.

He was one of the main City Whipping Boys for years. Like him personally as a bloke, but yeah, he is an ordinary player.

Similar thoughts.

Played his best football with Adelaide but was never totally convinced.

I must have missed something. How did Grant get a yellow but not Hoffman?

 

[Elmer_Judd]

Gee Whiz, Perth were all over The Jets before the Hoffman goal, now the tables have turned. It's become a pretty good game to watch since Newcastle have gotten out of their shells and decided to take the game on.

Fornaroli has been terrible, really needs a rocket from Poppa at half time.

 

[im_a_lazy_sod]

Neither of Alex grants yellow cards were yellow cards. As it stands he’s been sent off for absolutely nothing.

Has to be overturned. Ref is useless

 

[CakeEater]

Aah a league refs.

Didnt deserve the first yellow. Didnt deserve the second one

 

[amazingjoshy]

A completely standard header is a sending off these days in the A-league apparently

 

[Elmer_Judd]

Merrick has to be on the hot seat soon surely ? Newcastle have been extremely ordinary for a significant amount of time now.

 

[drd23]

What exactly did the ref think he saw to coming sprinting in like that ready to give out that second yellow to Grant?

 

[ioppolo]

At this rate we'd be lucky to scrape into sixth. Ugh

 

[ioppolo]

Wanderers into scoring quick smart

 

[Visions]

Regardless of how sh!t Scott McDonald is from close range, that was a clear goal. Ref bottled that VAR referral.

 

[Elmer_Judd]

What a shithouse miss lol

 

[drd23]

How tf did this not get ruled a goal?

 

[Andonis1997]

Wellington have to play in Melbourne two weeks in a row, although it has to be said, Welly is a closer plane trip to

We request that.
Same with Sydney and CCM away games back-to-back later on in the year.

Ernie's natural trajectory after a good couple of seasons

How tf did this not get ruled a goal?

The line isn’t right on the edge so it’s not conclusively a goal going by that. But yeah we are trying to use the offside technology to determine whether a goal has been scored. Farcical.

Send Robbie Slater down to the line again for the laughs.

 

[nobbyiscool]

Is it even a VAR controversy if Slater isn't down on the goal line making an idiot of himself?

I guess, in defence of Fox Sports, it wasn't his beloved Smurfs that he wanted to say were stitched up.

 

[Andonis1997]

HAHAHAHAHAHA

 

[giggler99]

HAHAHAHAHAHA

I think It was a Penalty! but VAR can suck my balls!

Short of amputating his arm, what was Ola meant to do? Beside his body and did everything right.

Nothing, but it hit his hand in a scoring opportunity so ref had to give it upon a second look.

Didn't hit his hand though. Got him on the arm that was next to his body. If you want to be pedantic it got him high on the forearm that was next to his body. There was absolutely no where else his arm could have been that would have been legal. Rubbish decision.

hand, arm all connected. it sucks but I can understand why it was given. I would be scream penalty if it happen at the other end.

In what way is an arm next to your body unnatural?

How does kenny athui get a game at this level?
